I made an experimental PR to remove support for threads-less builds: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/3385
The next effect is to remove almost 2000 lines of code (including many #ifdef sections in C code).
Regards
Antoine.

Hello,
It's 2017 and we are still allowing people to compile CPython without threads support. It adds some complication in several places (including delicate parts of our internal C code) without a clear benefit. Do people still need this? Regards Antoine.
